Lyrics
Verse
Teach me O my Lord
To know Your will
To hear Your Voice
And fall into Your love
Let me learn to rest
In your arms of love
And in my daily life
My eyes fixed on You
Chorus
Its You that I live for
Its You that I long for, O my God
Its You that my heart needs
My Life, My Love, My All
Bridge
Longing for Your touch
Longing for Your Spirit
Your presence is enough
Satisfies my soul
Behind the song
Teach Me is a prayer from a heart that longs to know God in an increasing and deeper measure. Back in 2017, it was actually the first song I ever wrote but at the time I had just the lyrics and no melody. After sending the lyrics to my good friend Dave Coles, he quickly came up with a melody that I think is so perfect for this song.
I remember at the time Dave told me that he was thinking about the lyrics whilst driving in the car and the tune just came to him all at once. I just love how God can inspire us in that way sometimes. At the time, we laid down a rough demo.
4 years on, I revisited the song and wanted to release this song to bless others, and so Dave and I worked on re-recording it. I wanted Dave to record the lead vocal for this because, in all honesty, I couldn’t possibly manage to sing it in the key of B that Dave manages to. Somehow though, I felt the key that Dave wrote the melody in was right for the recording.
My prayer is that you catch the heart behind this song and are drawn into a deeper place of waiting on Him and longing after His presence.
